Morning Coffee: Do you love your bread machine?

I’ve gotten away from making all of my own bread in the last year, and have been thinking about getting a bread machine. But they all have such mixed reviews that I just can’t pull the trigger. So if you have a bread machine that you love (or hate), would you please tell me which one?Thank you!

Amazon’s Gold Box deal of the day is Lock & Lock Plastic Storage Container Sets – you can get a 26-Piece Set (13 containers) for $22.99, or a 32-Piece Set (16 containers) for $29.99. I love Lock & Lock containers because they really are air-tight and leak-proof – perfect for transporting food, and when my oldest was a kindergartener, he was already able to open these containers by himself. That made them a perfect choice for his school lunch.

The coupon for $2/1 Kashi product is back at Recyclebank (though it’s now 100 points instead of 75). Kashi products often go on sale for $2.99, so this high value coupon can get you boxes of bars and cereal for just $0.99.

I got my bread machine at a garage sale! That might be an option- if you find yourself using it a lot, you can always upgrade. Otherwise, find a store with a liberal return policy and try one out for a month. If it’s not for you, return it! I know that HSN (and HSN.com) will let you try something for 30 days and send it back even if it’s been used. They do carry bread machines. Good luck!

I have a Cuisinart that i got at costco a few years ago. It has 8 different settings and i haven’t had a complaint yet. I used to make all our bread, then i stopped, and now i’m getting back on the kick. (packaged bread just has so much junk in it!)

my first machine was a gift–used. I would really suggest scouring yard/estate sales/Craig’s list to find a nice inexpensive one to get a “feel” for. then you can get into the bread making habit while shopping around for your perfect machine.

Thanks, Dawn – I miss making my own sandwich bread but just don’t feel like dealing with the kneading and the rising when I’m in and out so much these days. Of course, like you, I just want to avoid all the stuff in commercial bread!
